Hello, i'm working on animating a bento head and am running into an issue when trying to make the blinking animation. I'm using Avatstar 2 animating the default avatar included with it (using the default avatar because for some reason i could not import .dae files into blender, they just wouldn't show up in the scene) When i animate the blink it looks totally fine in blender/avastar : https://gyazo.com/83b80ac33731c5396cb25895b83719e1 However when i uploaded it into SL it looks like this : https://gyazo.com/eaa4a6b372f3a7ab7960210a25d2da1b For some reason its clipping inward to my eye instead of rotating downward like it should. If anyone has an answer as to why this is and how i can fix it please help <3

Hi everyone, Im trying to rig a mesh head to the bento skeleton. Once i smooth bind it and copy weights i get this error when i try and paint skin weights : https://i.gyazo.com/0595cbb24c64e800cd53ad020b4fcde6.png All the bones are greyed out/locked when i go into the menu : https://i.gyazo.com/1e24050c3815f5cb9c310d9b3bbf651c.png Ive copied weights the same way in other scenes before with no errors. I checked the bound skeleton and the mFace bone is there. Any idea what this could be?

Hi everyone Thank you very much for this thread and all your hard work, ive been reading through a bit trying to get the gist of whats been going on but its so much Im working on mesh heads for bento and am having an issue i was hoping to get a bit of help on. Im using Autodesk Maya 2014 and have the MayaStar 5.0 plugin installed. Ive downloaded the bento female skeleton from the wiki page and have tried using the one included with mayaStar, however im getting an error whenever i try to paint weights. https://gyazo.com/0595cbb24c64e800cd53ad020b4fcde6 The weight paint tool comes up however all the bones are greyed out so i cant select them : https://i.gyazo.com/1e24050c3815f5cb9c310d9b3bbf651c.png Also when i tried uploading the head into SL the include weights button is greyed out. There is also this line of errors when exporting : https://i.gyazo.com/1fe85f41cac8b4cd3af7fefc9faa34bb.png

Problem Solved! It was an issue with my shape dimensions for Eye Depth & Head Size/Length etc

Im having this extremely weird Alpha issue with a head im making when i turn on advanced lighting. https://gyazo.com/e7c8af3da6709dc0afad4e596caf8081 https://gyazo.com/4f02e8713b85e7f0873a334718108704 https://gyazo.com/bb32684801e98a6a324c5e9a543b0fd2 It looks as if something is sitting on top of the mesh or with alpha settings turned on and is causing these areas to glitch. It goes away completely when advanced lighting is turned off. Ive tried unlinking all the extra layers from the head but its still there. I've taken off everything im wearing including HUDs, alpha layers, clothing layers, etc. It also only appears when the head is worn not when its rezzed. Im completely stumped. Has anyone else had something like this happen or have any idea what could be causing it? Any help would be greatly appreciated <3 --||-

Will do, however im not sure if he will send me a full perm copy since i paid close to nothing to have it made to begin with. I believe he's selling a version of it now on marketplace. He has done all the updates and requests i've asked for for free and seeing as im very close to releasing my product i dont want to pay to get a completely new HUD script made and deal with rescripting.

Ahh, i actually have a custom HUD script i had made however i dont have mod rights to it, so ill have to show this to my scripter and see if he can add it in then. Tyvm for the info <3

Oh wow thank you so much, would you happen to know if theres an already made script i can just add to my hud? Im not a scripter so have no idea how to make it with the link given lol I'm also willing to pay for it to be made of course

Hi, im looking for a script that allows me to add to my HUD the function to change the Alpha mode from Alpha Blending to Alpha Mask and control the Mask Cutoff amount as well. I've seen it done a few times for mesh head lashe so im assuming its at least possible :P

So far the ones i've checked out (The Mesh Project, Catwa, Lelutka) dont have the glitch issue, so im assuming its the way the layers are layered or the way something is attatched. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how i can make the issue better if not completely fix it I cant accept letting it be at this point knowing it can at least be better lol

Hi everyone, So im having a kinda major issue when it comes to the layering / alpha issues on my mesh heads. At the moment my heads are cut up into pieces to allow mix & match features however i will be switching this to faces with the next update so it wont matter. Anyway, the issue im having has to deal with the Eyebrows, Eyeshadow & Eyelashes layers. All of which need to work with alpha textures for applier creators to make their own features. There are multiple mesh heads on the market that do this without any issues from what i have seen, however mine are stuck with the alpha glitching/fighting issue. Example of glitch ( eyelashes have alpha glow around them, eyebrow is cutting off eyeshadow texture at the top) : https://gyazo.com/aa8f617fddc2b7b07647a13733fc0889 The current way i have it : https://gyazo.com/1cbca72e7cb6570023ffcc7f2d17fb58 * Green = Eyebrow Layer (cutout seperate mesh) * Blue = Eyeshadow Layer (cutout seperate mesh) * LightBlue = Eyelashes (seperate mesh) Sometimes the eyeshadow simply wont show up at all due to the lashes being in front of them. So far i have tried combining the eyelash layers and eyeshadow layers with no fix. I have also tried seperate faces and having them all combined to no avail. I have also tried changing the eyelashes to Alpha Masking, however the clumpy look isnt really appealing to myself or my customers. I have tried putting the eyebrow layer on Alpha Masking and it doesnt help much when it comes to the eyeshadow glitching. So im wondering if anyone has any ideas/suggestions as to how i should be layering my alpha layers so this doesnt happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated, ive tried over and over for a fix on this. Thanks in advance for reading! <3

Ahh i understand what your saying, i think i may not have explained what im trying to do well enough lol The selected nose i have in the photo is an overlay alpha layer i need to sit directly in front of the head for things like freckles, beauty marks, etc. Im not trying to change the shape of the original nose to this one. The issue comes up when i have 10 different heads each with 10 emotes. I need an alpha overlay nose to sit on each one and i need the cut out of it to be exactly the same for each emote, each head. Each head & emote have slight differences because of the mouth positioning moving the nose slightly up or down so each one needs its own nose alpha shape. So in the photo the head behind it isnt the base its a seperate emote im trying to make the nose alpha for. So i need the cut of the 2nd nose alpha to be exactly the same as the 1st nose alpha. The thing im trying to figure out is, is there some kind of shortcut or feature in Maya that will allow me to copy the shape of the nose alpha so i can easily cut out the rest of the face for the other nose alphas. I hope that makes more sense
